"risk it all for love"

You say "risk it all for love,"

But what do you really mean?
Risk your sanity?
Risk your livelihood?
And to whom are you speaking?
Are you making a personal statement?
Is this your mantra, something to say
To get you through the rough patches of your life?
Or do you wish this for everyone?
Do you put this out there for anyone to read
And be inspired by
And pick up like a white flag
(Or a red flag,
Or a beating heart that has lost its chest
But just won't stop its wistful beating)?
To whom are you offering this?
And what is it you are offering?
Has this message helped you?
Are you making a testimony of these five words
-- "Risk it all for love. (I did, and look at me)." --
Is that it?
And what if it comes from without,
Moving toward you?
What if it is someone else
Who takes this message
And has at the heart of the matter
You and all that you mean to them?
What then?
Can you handle it?
Will you accept it?
Will you succumb to the power of love
That has been risked in your name?
Do you believe in this?
Do you believe in it?
Do you really believe?
And if you do, what will you do about it?
What will happen?
I don't know the answer,
That's why I'm asking.
